New York company in going in for
'whole hog or none," and in the
meantime not moving fifty yards of
dirt per year, has already spoiled
two or three schemes whereby the
rich lands of the peninsular would
today have been "blossoming like
the rose" instead of being a resort
for jack rabbits and badgers. The
New York company should throw
dirt or leave the field and give less
men fair chance.

homily does seem a little overdone.

In the orchard of Giles Hubbard of
Manitowoc Rapids is an apple tree which
produces hybrid fruit. The apple tree
stands within Ia cluster of cherry trees and
its pistillate flowers are fertilized by the
pollen from the cherry flowers. The
fruit in outward appearance resembles a
stunted apple. The flesh is red and
when raw tastes like an apple, but it is
said when stewed has the flavor of the
cherry. The interior of the apple is a
queer compromise between the pit of
the cherry and the papery pod of the
apple. Like all hybrids, it has no seeds.
Not all the apples on this tree are of
this class, many of them being thorough
going, honest apples.

THE NEW LINE.

The all absorbing topic at present is
the proposed new line of railway. Man
itowoc takes as much interest in the
road as the places DESTROYS of securing
1t. But the interests of ManitowOc lie
in the non-existence of the line as il
would materially lessen the trade of the
place. A meeting was held at Kellners-
vile one week ago Sunday at which there
were representatives from Kiel, st.
Nazians and Clarks Mills, and it was
then decided that a visit be made to
kewaunee to secure the cooperation of
that place in the proposed new line. On
Friday last quite large delegation from
this county went to Kewaunee and a
meeting was held on Saturday at thai
place at which the question was fully
discussed. There have been no railroad
men present at any of these meetings
aud 1t cannot be learned that any PROPOSE
ton has been made by the Milwaukee &
Northern. The people along the pro
posed line are anxious for railroad COM
munications and a branch from Kie'
through the points mentioned seems to
be possible and taps an excellent terri
tory. This is about all there is to the
excitement, at present at least. Or
course proposition is likely to come
from the company and there can be no
question that the line is particularly
favorable to Kewaunee county, giving
fully as direct communication with Mil
YANKEE as could be secured by the Lake
Shore. The business men in the little
villages would no doubt offer induce
ments. But it must not be forgotten
that the line as proposed lies wholly, in
this county at least, within the Kettle
Range and the road will be a pretty
costly one. The country on either side
of this range is level and as productive
as any in the county, but it will require
some engineering skill to bring a road
to tue villages active in the movement at
such a cost as will make road probable.
JIM ANDERSON has gone up to Madison
to look over the legislature and take
peep at the editorial business association.
The editor of The Pilot is down on the
program for few ''slight remarks" or
''fealty to party in directing the course
of paper" or something of that nature.
But as he doesn't give a cent for ''fealty'
he hasn't directed his steps toward Mad
ison, and Anderson is going it alone, un
less Sandford takes a notion to give him
chase. Carl Schmidt won't go anywhere
now where people are not compelled to
address him as ''your honor" and Witt
mann is constitutionally disinclined to
quit Manitowoc in winter. Will Nash
can never sleep well in a strange bed,
and be doesn't like Madison anyway, and
has still less love for a concIave of editors.
Jim can bear all the sins of the fraternity
of this place alone and then he'd be a
COMPOUNDED sight better than any other
person there.
